    Your sig makes you look like an inconsiderate dick. It's many times bigger than anything esle on the page. I don't expect you to fix it.

    I hope Huss & Co. place limitations on sigs including font size, IMGs and embedded youtube videos so that this site's newfound elegance isn't completely ruined by a handful of people.

    I agree. I like the sig lines in the prior BS iteration, smallish fonts and discreet rather than in-your-face. If the focus of this forum becomes individual egos, it's not going to be a place I want to spend time. Plus it's hard to scan a thread when you've got intrusive sig lines smacking you in the eyes.

    There. Saved Huss the trouble. Do I no longer look like an inconsiderate dick?

    :thumbsup:

    You look much better. And there have been lots of people on the customer service threads asking for reduced sigs.

    And right now it seems that I can get into the Lounge, and so can 2 others who are not mods ... but those who are regular mods cannot get into the forum. They can't even see it on their drop-down menu.

    Just wondering if y'all have changed access privileges or if something else is going on ...

    I would like to add my voice to the chorus asking for signatures to no longer allow big fonts, images, or embedded videos. I understand that some people want to tart up all their posts like a 13-year-old girl's Trapper/Keeper; but for everyone else it looks obnoxious and makes threads hard to read.

    While Knave has been a bit forward with his complaints about the changes, our problem wasn't with you as much as it is with the ability of posters to do what you did. I've seen countless forums cluttered with huge signatures.

    Meanwhile, I still don't have the ability to add a signature again.

    You've been around only a couple of years, but signatures have long been a big unpopular issue on BigSoccer. Any time a change has occurred that allowed for graphics, videos, large fonts, multi-colored fonts, they have quickly been abused.

    It's not just Knave, and it's not just "a vocal few".

    Consider this me joining him, it's terrible and obnoxious from a usability stand point when the damn sigs are twice as large as the garbage being posted.

    I was just responding to the Platinum users seeing ads thread. My post was #28 but I hit reply from page 1, although there were 2 pages at the time. Once my post was written to the DB and the page refresh happened I was left on page 1 but saw all 28 posts. At that point if I select page 2 I get just posts 21-28.​

    I am still having the same problem: there is no signature option under my user profile.

    For how I use Big Soccer (last read button and subscribed threads page), I am very satisfied with the new look. It is much faster and much easier on my 40+ yo eyes.
    My only complaint is that when I have the text of the post at the size that is readable on my phone, I can't read the usernames of the posters.(But I assume this will be taken care of with the mobile version).

    PS very thankful there is the ability to disable signatures. Whether pimped out or not, I have never found them as interesting or clever as the person assumes.

    Man, I was planning a huge thread for the Copa del Rey final... At the wrong time, the media got limited to 5 for each post and that includes Youtube videos! That is a real disappointment :(

    Make it 5 images and 5 Youtube videos per opening post.

    I was excited having tried out the new forum. Being allowed more media meant that I could make better match threads.... Previously, I could have three images and unlimited YouTube videos which is better than a total of 5 items.

    PM Huss or DanV

    Huss, I do suggest you fix the sig bit...it is the biggest problem with the visuals right now.

    Tech: I saw a post that said a poster had repped it. I agreed and repped it, but the comment said "you and one other like this post." It appears to be an error.

    Tech: also, earlier I had 3 alerts, notified in red. Clicked on them, read one of the alerts, but then the notice went away. Is that by design? If so, I'd like it to be changed so that the alerts remain for the links not clicked.

    I prefer the old limit of 3 images total, including those being quoted.

    I would say three inages, but not including the images (smileys) in the quotes.

    We are working on stripping formatting out of sigs. Until then we have turned sigs off and will likely delete abusers or just wipe them all until we solve the problem.

    In large part because smileys are images, I'm glad it is more than 3 although I do wish the limit were even higher.

    Was there a particular reason the option for a signature had disappeared earlier for some of us?
